The Abdication and the Death of Diana
The abdication of Edward the eighth is interesting because he kind of knew that if he took the coronation oath he wouldn't be able to marry mrs. Simpson. The new king and queen as you know were nervous as to whether they would be accepted or not but Cosmo Gordon Lang found them much more receptive to the coronation than Edward the eighth had been. It's very often the case that the monarch goes into Westminster Abbey as one person and kind of comes out as a different person I'm sure that'll be the case with King Charles Because he's a very spiritual man.
